Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent estimate he has made of the level of funding required to maintain the National Cycle Network; and if he will make a statement.

The Government has not made an assessment of the level of funding required to maintain the National Cycle Network (NCN). The NCN is made up of over 12,000 miles of signed on and off-road routes across the UK. Sustrans manage the NCN and rely on a variety of partners to maintain and grow the Network, including landowners, highway authorities, and national and local government.
